A lucky photo saves a baby’s sight

One of the symptoms of retinoblastoma is a white reflection in the child’s eye, sometimes referred to as a cat’s eye appearance.
Recently in the UK, one-year-old Jasmin had her photo taken. It was good luck that her mother noticed the reflective whitish spot in her left eye. She took immediate action, with the result that Jasmin was found to have bilateral retinoblastoma.
After six weeks of chemotherapy, Jasmin’s tumours have all gone. How fortunate that her Mum acted so promptly.
